Protected edit request on 11 March 2014: Use protocol relative URL

[edit]

Since tools.wmflabs.org/ftl/cgi-bin/ftl website supports HTTPS, I suggest switching the link to protocol-relative URL. Here is the change. Thanks! Chmarkine (talk) 22:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Chmarkine, Jackmcbarn; wouldn't it be more appropriate to just make it an internal link to toollabs:ftl/cgi-bin/ftl? — {{U|Technical 13}} (tec) 23:56, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why not. Jackmcbarn (talk) 00:02, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Technical 13: Indeed. It is better to use internal link. Thanks for the idea! Chmarkine (talk) 01:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
One thing to notice is that if toollabs:A is used, then A is encoded automatically, so ? becomes %3F, and & becomes %26. Therefore, to my knowledge, it's impossible to pass parameters to that website. So I would suggest keep the current format. Chmarkine (talk) 04:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
